‘BEAUTY AND THE BEAST’ STARS ON ROMANCE, SEX
Romance is a tale as old as time (I HAD TO!), but there are a lot of obstacles standing between Kristen Kreuk’s Catherine and Beast (Jay Ryan) before they get anywhere close to the big R. At least, that’s what the stars told me when they stopped by EW last week during upfronts week.
“Obviously you can’t bring these two characters together without difficulty,” says Kreuk, pointing out the pair’s “instant connection.” “It’s a journey.”
In the pilot, says Ryan, fans will get a very good idea of just how rocky that path will be. “Vincent has been celibate for, like, 10 years. And there’s a moment where he’s touched for the first time by Catherine and there’s an animalistic flinch. It’s going to take a lot for these two characters to trust one another,” he says.
